A fair. sweet face that you'd learned to love

While our cheek bru~ he'd the sunny hair
That fell in its graceful rings OF gold

A face that Murillo had loved to paine,
With its eyes of gentle blue.
With lips all ripe and tremulous,
That breathe OF new-mown hay?
While the lashes that fringe the eyelids
Swept thu bu>hing checks below,
AS you sought In the face the secret
That your own heart strove to know?
Such q face has haunted my pillow.

The Russian Language.

Russian, il is true, is an Indo-Euro-
pean language, yet its analogies with
other members of the same great family
of speech are so obliterated, where not
altogether lost, as to make the students
path a veritable terra incognita-an unil-
Illuminated tract in which almost every
inch of ground has to be won by a special
effort of the intellect rather than by any
brightness of pathological memory or de-
pendence upon Grimm's famous law of
consonantal interchange. 1t cannot be
denied that many foreign words have
srept into Russian. But this does not
alter the character of the language,
which remains, in spite Of a sprinkling of
foreign elements, wholly rounded off in
itself.
No less troublesome, on the other
hand, is the formation of Russian as a
spoken tongue. Credited, somewhat
loosely, with possessing all the sounds
heard in other Indo-E European languages,
it has vowels and consonants that are
rarely, eve after years of practice, cor
rectly enunciated by foreigners. The
soft H." a peculiar liquid sound; the
letter ''shch," expressed with a single
character; the final 1T" and "n"-these
are all difficulties of a formidable charac-
ter, and need mastering at as early q
stage in the students progress rs posi-
BILE. Having regard to its infections
alone, n might call Russian an ancient
tongue resuscitated for the use of a
people of modern times. Every word in
the sentence must fit in, so to speak, with
every other; verbs must be in agreement
visible as well as implied-with their
nominatives, adjectives with their nouns,
and nouns with almost every part Of
speech. The Russian noun has three de-
~clensions, each containing three sets az
forms, and no fewer than seven cases.
The verb is more formidable still.-New

what Doctors Prescribe.

The subscribers 10 The Chemist and
Druggist, London, having been asked to
send to the editor 10000 prescriptions, =
digest OF the answers received shows
that spirits of chloroform, sal volatile,
.glycerine, and strip Of orange peel take
high places as drugs most frequently pre-
scribed-to these being also added bro
mide of potassium, which ranks second
only 10 chloroform. Wine Of ipecacuanha,
sulphate Of quinine, bicarbonate Of soda,
carbonate Of ammonia, liquor ammonia,
acetatis, POTASH bicarbonatis, and
piritus etherin nitrosi are the other
members OF the group OF twelve drugs
most frequently ordered. Several Of
these minister to the disorder Of the
respiratory tract, and the time OF the
year may have some influence on their
use. This kind Of information cannot,
however, be regarded as representative.
Thus, u the statistics of some hospitals
and dispensaries were taken, bicarbonate

Napoleon as a Novel Reader.

Napoleon, the greatest man Of modern
times. was a greedy novel reader. He
was one of the most voracious readers Of
novels that ever lived. He was always
asking for the newest of the new, and
unfortunately even the new romances Of
his period were hopelessly bad. Barber,
his librarian, had orders to send parcels
Of fresh fiction to his majesty wherever
he might happen to be, and great loads
Of novels followed Napoleon 10 Germany,
Spain, Italy, Russia. The conqueror was
very hard to please. He read in his trav-
cling carriage, and after skimming a few
pages would throw a volume that bored
him out of the window into the highway.
He might have been tracked by his trail
Of romances, as vas Hop-o'-My-Thumb
In the fairy tale by the white stones he
dropped behind him. Poor Barber, who
miristered TO q passion for novels that
demanded twenty volumes a day, was at
his wits end. He tried 10 foist on the
emperor the romances Of the year before
last; but these Napoleon had generally
read, and he refused, with imperial scorn,
to look at them pin.-Andrew Lang.

Turner's sloppy Manner.

Turner's abruptness Of speech is still
remembered at Farnley. A genuine love
Of art runs through the Fawkes family,
and one of the daughters, anxious for his
criticism, ventured one day timidly to
lay before him a water color drawing Of
her own. His only comment was, PUT
it in a Jug of water" Her momentary
chagrin was great, but on turning the
advice over in her mind she became per-
suaded that in that one pregnant sentence
Turner had revealed one Of his secrets.
He certainly worked in what may be
called a sloppy" manner.
Only once did he relax his usual BE-
~cretiveness, and let Mr.. Fawkes see him
at work. At breakfast one morning the
conversation turned upon war ships, and
Mr.. Fawkes, handing a small bit of paper
TO Turner, said: 'Show me the size of q
man of war on that" The idea tickled
Turner. He took his host TO his room,
and in his presence and before the end Of
the morning produced the highly finished,
marvellous water color now hanging in
the saloon at Farnley, called "The First
Rate taking in Stores" The same ship
Is repeated three times at different angles
and different distances, with every de-
tail accurate and clear. II was q wonder

Shipping Gold 60 Europe.

When one recalls the millions upon
millions of dollars in gold that annually
seek Europe to provide for the necessities
of import trade, the question of how
gold is shipped to Europe becomes a
curious and interesting one. The Bank
of America is the largest single shipper
of gold abroad. Shipments are made in
stout kegs, very like the ordinary beer
keg. Every one contains $50, 900 in coin
or in bar gold. The latter is the favorite
for these shipments, since the govern
ment has permitted the ~sub-treasury to
exchange bar for gold coin, a coin in
81, 900, 900 shipment is liable to a loss by
abrasion Of from eight to twenty ounces,
or from S12s to $3.50; and the bars only
lose about three-fourths of that amount.
Where coin is sent double eagles are pre-
ferred. They are put in stout canvas
bags, each bag containing 1875 double
eagles, II : 5000, and ten bags fill each
keg.
About the only pracaution taken
against tampering with kegs is a treat
ment of the keg ends, technically known
as "red taping." Four holes are bored
at equal intervals in the projecting rim
of the slaves above the head. Red tape
is run through these, crossing on the
kegs head, the ends meeting at the en-
ter, where they are sealed to the head by
the hardest Of wax and stamped with the
consignor's name. The average insur-
ance is about $1,000 per $1,000, 900.
Then there is an expense of 81 a keg for
packing and carriage aboard ship, Of 5000
for the same sum; and the inevitable loss
by abrasion, whatever it may prove to
be. There are great Wall street firms
shipping from s25, 900, 900 to $40, 900, 900
annually. Some Of these have for years
insured themselves, and assert that the
saving has been sufficient to replace a loss
of $1,000, 900. These are large figures.
But this has become a country of large
figures and affain.-Edgar L. Wake

The history Of the search for a specific

Of a series Of melancholy failures, like
the search for the philosophers stone or
the invention Of the flying machine.
Thackeray presents one Of his characters
in the act Of irrigating his interior with
small beer after an excess of punch at
Vauxhall. in the Waterloo year, declaring
that at that period soda water was un-
known. Byron, however, who survived
Waterloo only nine years, was familiar
with the more modern remedy. and
recommends sermons and soda water
the day after. To this simple prescrip
